Health Care Consumerism Superstars and Innovators Announced
The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism Recognizes 2015 Award Honorees - Highlights Companies and Leaders Who Are Transforming Workforce Health And Benefits
Alpharetta, GA, September 25, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism congratulates the recipients of the organization’s 10th annual HealthCare Consumerism Superstars and Innovators recognition. Health care consumerism – the movement to dramatically increase patient involvement in their own health care decisions – is a vital tool to fix America’s health care woes. Because employers have a significant stake in lowering health costs and increasing productivity through workforce wellness, workplace health and benefits programs are the catalyst for consumerism. The HealthCare Consumerism Superstars and Innovators awards spotlight executives and organizations that, in the past twelve months, have most transformed the corporate health and benefits field and radically increased employee engagement in their own health and well-being.
“The corporate health and benefits marketplace has responded with swift entrepreneurial force to a confluence of powerful new technologies, Affordable Care Act implications and rampantly rising costs impacting the U.S. health care system. The result is a renaissance of workplace health and benefits innovation that bodes well for the health and productivity of America’s workforce,” said Doug Field, Founder and CEO of The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism. “The HealthCare Consumerism Superstars and Innovators program rewards and encourages continued business creativity that will positively alter our health care landscape,” Field added.
Candidates for the HealthCare Consumerism Superstars and Innovator recognition are nominated by their industry peers, clients and colleagues. Winners are selected by a judging panel of industry experts and are awarded across a range of categories that reflect the ecosystem of organizations serving the field and variety of health and health benefits solution areas.
